Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose products
The AR1 receiver can connect to some products that are not 
Bose link compatible, including:
• Non-Bose products like a tuner/receiver or powered speaker 
system
• Bose powered speakers, a radio, or system with its own 
volume and on/off controls and line-level female RCA input 
jacks connected to the receiver
Any of the above products require the use of an RCA to DIN 
adapter cable for connecting to the receiver. An adapter kit, 
which contains two of these cables, is available from Bose.
Note: To order the adapter kit, contact Bose and request Part 
Number 285320-207. For Bose contact information, refer to the
